Robert Pattinson Clubbing in London on Christmas Eve Without Kristen Stewart


Amidst rumor that Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart would spend holiday together, he was spotted hitting a local club in London without his leading lady in sight. The Edward Cullen of "Twilight Saga" movie franchise looked like he was having a good time though.

Although spending Christmas apart from K-Stew, R-Pattz is expected to reunite with his girlfriend for New Year celebration. The couple, who briefly broke up following her moment of indiscretion with married director Rupert Sanders, spent Thanksgiving together earlier this year.

Himesh Reshammiya: It’s important to be part of a camp

By Hindustan Times


“If you are sticking to a camp (in Bollywood), it works because (of) the platform (it provides). There are so many talented people than me but how will they prove their talent? So yes it is important to be a part of a camp,” said the actor.

“Also, at the same time you need to be ready creatively at any given point. When you get a break, you can’t start working and follow a deadline. You should be creatively ready, pray to God and if you get a chance to have someone to back you, it works wonderfully,” he added. Reshammiya is also outspoken about accepting that he didn’t have to struggle much thanks to Salman.

“It’s not been hard because I had Salman Khan’s family backing me. They gave me my first break at a very early age. I didn’t really have to struggle,” he said.

Salman Khan to move out of Galaxy Apartments, feels uncomfortable

By Hindustan Times


Almost every Bollywood actor who makes a name for himself lives in a plush bungalow or at least a swanky apartment in Mumbai. All this while, superstar Salman Khan has been an exception to this rule. Salman has always lived with his family in his childhood home at Galaxy Apartments on Bandstand, Bandra. And were it not for the fans always waiting outside to catch a glimpse of the star, the modest Galaxy does not even come across as a Bollywood actor's residence.

But now, all that is set to change as the 46-year-old actor is set to move out of Galaxy in a year's time. "I have stayed here for as long as I could. Now I may stay here only for another year. We have a property, which we are constructing; that's where I will move," says Salman, without mentioning any details of his future address.

Presently, Salman stays on the ground floor of the apartment building, while his father, writer Salim Khan, and mother Salma stay on the first floor.

The Dabangg (2010) actor, however, is deeply attached to the house he has grown up in. He says, "I have not been able to move out of this house. I have been living here since childhood, and I'm used to everything about it. But it's about time I get out of my current residence. It's getting increasingly uncomfortable here, with no place for my shoes and clothes."

The actor is presently promoting his upcoming film, Dabangg 2, co-starring Sonakshi Sinha, and directed by his brother, actor-producer Arbaaz Khan. The film will release on December 21.

Madonna's 'MDNA' Ranks as No. 1 Concert Tour of 2012



Controversial pop icon Madonna has added another feather on her cap by topping this year's list of highest-grossing concert tours. According to Billboard, her world tour brought in the most money this year, reaching an incredible $228 million in revenues, besting rock and roll legend Bruce Springsteen's total of $198 million from his "The Wrecking Ball" tour with The E Street Band.

Madonna handily beat her younger contemporary, the equally-controversial Lady GaGa, who only managed to secure the no. 6 spot with $124 million from her "Born This Way Ball" tour. The notorious Material Girl is consistently in the headlines by making controversial stunts in her shows, like brandishing a gun onstage in Denver only shortly after the Colorado shooting during "The Dark Knight Rises" movie premiere, and handing out pink anti-homophobia wristbands to Russian fans.

With seventy more shows still lined up and potentially $450 million in total earnings, the "MDNA" tour may end-up as the all-time highest-grossing live act. The record is currently held by Irish rock band U2 for their "360 Degrees" tour which grossed a whopping $736 million from a total of 110 shows.

Other top acts in this year's list of highest-grossing tours include established artists Roger Waters with $186 million and Coldplay with $147 million. Teen sensations Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift also made it to the prestigious list, raking in $30 million and $26 million respectively.

Dabangg 2 release Sonakshi Sinha feels lucky!


By Hindustan Times


Bollywood actor Sonakshi Sinha is excited about the release of Dabangg 2 and says she is lucky to have one hit after another. "I am very happy and excited about the release of 'Dabangg 2'. I am lucky that I got to work in movies that have become hits," Sonakshi told reporters on the sidelines of an event.

The actress has been appointed as a brand ambassador of Rajhan (Desai-Jain) Group which operates into various verticals including realty, entertainment, hospitality and others.

The 25-year-old has had the opportunity to work with established stars - Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar and Ajay Devgn. With her two films -'Dabangg' and 'Rowdy Rathore' hitting the bull's eye, Sonakshi became a member of the elite Rs. 100 crore club in Bollywood. Her movie with Ajay Devgn 'Son of Sardar' too was a hit at the box office.

Sinha's two other movies 'Lootera' and 'Once Upon a Time In Mumbai Again' will be releasing next year in July and August, respectively. 'Lootera' features Ranveer Singh alongside Sonakshi, while 'Once Upon a Time In Mumbai Again' has Akshay Kumar in the lead.

Sonakshi will also appear in upcoming film 'Bullet Raja', featuring Saif Ali Khan in the lead role along with Jimmy Shergill, Ravi Kishan and Chunky Pandey.

Akshay Kumar flies to Germany for back rehab



By Hindustan Times


He is a known as Khiladi Kumar. And Akshay is in no mood to let anything come between him and his daredevil stunts. That’s why he flew to Germany for a back rehabilitation program as soon as he got some days off from the Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai 2 schedule. “Akshay is doing a lot of action films and the audience also loves him in that avatar, so he doesn’t want to take any chances. Also, since 2013 is going to be packed with action films, he has decided to go in for a back rehab program,” says an insider close to the actor. Akshay’s line-up for next year includes films like the Thuppaki remake with AR Murugadoss, Neeraj Pandey’s Special Chhabis, Anthony D’Souza’s Boss and the Sanjay Leela Bhansali-produced Ramanna remake. “And considering his love for action and zeal to do all the stunts himself, he is fully focused on the program,” adds the insider.

In January this year, Akshay had gone to Germany for some back treatment after spraining it while working on an action sequence in Rowdy Rathore. Although he completed the schedule, he was still in pain. He was advised a special water therapy available only in Germany. His wife, Twinkle Khanna, had accompanied him. “This time, Akshay has gone without Twinkle since she has to take care of their newborn, Nitara,” adds the insider. Akshay is likely to be back in a couple of days.

Britney Spears Tops Forbes' 2012 Highest Paid Women in Music


Pop diva Britney Spears has taken the No. 1 spot on Forbes' top 10 highest-paid women in music for 2012 with an estimated $58 million in combined earnings from her albums, endorsements, and perfume line. "The X Factor (US)" judge bested two other huge artists, country princess Taylor Swift and R'n'B star Rihanna who took the second and third places with an estimated $57 million and $53 million in total paychecks respectively. Forbes announced the list of top-earners on Wednesday, December 12 based on estimated earnings from May 2011 to May 2012. 

Spears, who was at No. 10 last year, mostly collected her dollars from sales of her latest set "Femme Fetale". She also pulled in cash from her tour and reality TV stint with "The X Factor". The judging role alone reportedly gave her $15 million.

Twenty-two-year-old Swift had her new album "Red" to thank for in making it to the second spot this year. She also earned more than $1 million a night with her tour, plus millions more from her contract with CoverGirl cosmetics and her fragrance line.

Rihanna, who climbed up two places from last year, also owed a lot to her tour and new album release. Lady GaGa, who was the No. 1 earner last year, ended up at the No. 4 this year with $52 million.

Rounding up the top five is singer Katy Perry with $45 million in total earnings. Perry's California Dreams tour grossed about $60 million and she's noted to be the only musician other than Michael Jackson to have produced five No. 1 songs from one album.

"I think people love the comeback story - Britney never really finished her run as a superstar," marketing expert and author of "The Tanning of America", Steve Stoute, told Forbes. Stoute also said that, "What all these girls have in common is that they have smashes under their belts. GaGa... she's a pop culture icon because of her sensibilities... I think Rihanna has found the very thin space of being the alter ego of the good girl... [along with Katy Perry], they've completely dominated the charts in the past three years."

Forbes Top 10 Highest-Paid Women in Music 2012:
Britney Spears - ( $58 million)
Taylor Swift - ($57 million )
Rihanna - ($53 million)
Lady GaGa - ($52 million)
Katy Perry - ($45 million )
Beyonce Knowles - ($40 million)
Adele - ($35 million)
Sade - ($33 million)
Madonna - ($30 million)
Shakira - ($20 million)

Bieber will be sharing the stage with the Black Eyed Peas' Stacy Ferguson a.k.a Fergie in the L.A. broadcast, while PSY will be joining Taylor Swift, Carly Rae Jepsen and Neon Trees over in New York.

Akshay Kumar to play lead in Jatt and Juliet remake


By Hindustan Times


Himesh Reshammiya is back, and how. While he is back to composing for quite a few films, he is also taking his stint as a producer quite seriously. Once he would wrap up shooting of Khiladi 786, he would also begin work on the Hindi remake of Punjabi blockbuster Jatt & Juliet, the rights of
which he has acquired.

''While so many filmmakers are running down South to pick up films for remakes, Himesh has wasted no time in heading North and finalized a Punjabi film Jatt & Juliet. He would be remaking the film under his banner HR Musik", confirms a close associate.

The film's cast is yet to be decided and though Himesh is also acting in Khiladi 786 along with Akshay Kumar, it is yet to be seen who faces the camera for Jatt & Juliet remake.

"There would be an announcement in this regard soon but one thing is sure, just like Khiladi 786, even Jatt & Juliet remake would have A-lister hero and heroine", the associate adds.

When released a few weeks back, Jatt & Juliet turned out to be the biggest blockbuster in the history of Punjabi cinema as it also broke the record of Bodyguard up North. Now that Himesh has all-India plans for the film, it has to be seen how far he goes in making it suitable for universal audience.

A source adds, "First thing that he is doing in this direction is to compose music for the entire album. The film would have music on the lines of Namastey London which also had a Punjabi base to it."

Riding high on the success of Bodyguard music still doing well, 'Chalao Naa' from Bol Bachchan gaining good popularity, 'Go Go Govinda' [OMG - Oh My God] doing well in this festive season and Son Of Sardaar carrying good reports, Himesh is happy to be scoring well on the music front. Now with the rights of Jatt & Juliet being acquired, it would be interesting to see if the film reverses the trend of South remakes and brings Punjabi remakes in vogue.

Sonakshi Sinha may star in family drama


By Hindustan Times


Filmmaker Umesh Shukla, director of OMG - Oh My God!, has been approached to helm a family drama with actor Sonakshi Sinha in the lead.

“Talks are on, but nothing is official right now. I have not signed it yet. I am developing a script right now and I am looking forward to it,” says
Shukla. Shukla says he has been approached by the Sinha family’s banner for the movie. Sonakshi Sinha is the daughter of veteran actor Shatrughan Sinha and Poonam Sinha. “Sonakhi did an item number for my film, OMG - Oh My God!, and we are very good friends. I share a very good relationship with her family. Sonakshi will play the lead in my film for sure,” says Shukla.

Shukla says the project will be “a family drama and issue-based”. “They approached me to make a film for them and they are looking for some good content. It will be a light-hearted project,” he says.

But considering that Sonakshi’s brother Luv is also an actor, roping in the entire Sinha family is not on Shukla’s mind. “I will not do that (rope in all family members). It all depends on the script. Just to get the family together, I will not cast them. It should justify the role. So, let’s see how things fall in place,” says Shukla.

Justin Bieber Pictured Throwing Water Bottle at Paparazzi

Justin Bieber didn't look pleased when he went out for shopping trip in Miami recently. The teen flashed no smile to the camera when chucking a bottle of water in the direction of swarming paparazzi after he made his way out of a store with his bodyguards. 

The "Boyfriend" singer went shopping solo without his girlfriend Selena Gomez in tow. The Canadian heartthrob donned a plain white tee with its short sleeves rolled up, navy-blue hammer pants, a backward baseball cap, dark shades, and some gold chains.

Bieber is currently preparing for his extended tour. Last weekend, he performed for Z100's Jingle Ball, during which he addressed his Grammy snub, "Thank you to all of my beautiful fans out there. I don't need a Grammy to have your love. You guys are still so incredible."

He later wrote on Twitter, "And i met (sic) what i said at the end. finally answered about the grammys. I got you guys. that is all i need. Im all good."

Miley Cyrus' Heart 'So Hurt and Broken' After Her Dog Lila Died

Miley Cyrus is mourning the death of one of her dogs, a 2-year-old Yorkie mix named Lila. "My heart has never been so broken..... Lila my sweet baby girl has passed away," the former Disney darling tweeted to more than 10 million followers on Tuesday, December 11. 

"Can't think of one good reason to get out of bed today," she wrote earlier that day. "For everyone asking... I have never been so hurt in my life." She added, "Broken. Gonna go MIA for a bit. Need some healing time. Thank you to everyone who has sent love my way. I need it."

The cause of Lila's death is unclear. Last October, the dog was sent to hospital for unknown illness. "Please pray for my baby girl Lila... She is in the hospital. I am so heart broken. Please send out vibes for her to not be afraid & to heal," so Miley posted back then.

Miley, who encourages her fans to adopt stray animals from shelters instead of buying them, brought home Lila in 2011. The animal lover celebrated the pup's birthday in November. She and fiance Liam Hemsworth had four other rescued pets, Ziggy, Floyd, Mary Jane and Happy.

In addition to being a huge dog lover, Miley has a soft spot for pig. Coinciding with her 20th birthday, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) named a rescued pig Nora in her honor. The pig now lives at the Kindred Spirits Sanctuary in Ocala, Florida.

"It is the kind of action that makes you be a part of some good fun at the cinema. You can call it over the top, or insane, even incredible if you wish! Action of any kind can be admired in any way you wish; there are a million or more opinions and expectations to please," he said.

Shakira and her footballer boyfriend Gerard Pique share a first look at their unborn child. "His first pic! #excited #cute," the center back of FC Barcelona tweeted along with a picture of the baby's ultrasound sonogram, which was re-tweeted by the Colombian singer. 

Shakira announced her pregnancy last September. "At this time we have decided to give priority to this unique moment in our lives and postpone all the promotional activities planned over the next few days," she explained her reason to cancel her performance at the iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas. 

The couple later revealed that they're expecting a baby boy. The baby will be a first child for both Shakira and Gerard. 

Before dating Gerard, Shakira was in a longtime relationship with Antonio de la Rua. They split in 2011 after 11 years together, but continued their professional relationship as a business partner. Their professional partnership was strained when they sued each other earlier this year.

The team of Dabangg 2 will go full throttle for the movie's promotion soon. Producer-director Arbaaz Khan says it was vital to maintain the curiosity for the movie until now.

First look: Ranbir Kapoor in Besharam


By Hindustan Times


Abhinav Kashyap is out with a very colourful first look of Ranbir Kapoor-starrer Besharam. The Kapoor lad is seen in a rustic avatar, wearing a yellow printed shirt and sitting in the boot space of a pink car.

The tagline, Na Samman Ka Moh, Na Apmaan Ka Bhay, suggests Ranbir will be seen in a bindass role.

Ranbir will sport a macho look in this film. "He will need to put on some muscle as he will be shooting quite a few fighting sequences," Pradeep Bhatia, the actor's trainer, from Elixir Fitness, Andheri, Mumbai told HT Cafe.

"He is not going to show his abs in the film, but he will need to look tough when he shoots the action scenes," added Pradeep.

The film shoot begins on December 10 with a song sequence, which features Ranbir along with the film's female lead Pallavi Sharda.

Ranbir is also expected to share the screen with his dad Rishi Kapoor and mom Neetu Singh.

Besharam is slated to release on October 2, 2013.

Maroon 5 Premiere New Video 'Daylight'


Maroon 5 have premiered their latest music video "Daylight" from their most recent studio album "Overexposed". The clip contains various footage that actually came from fans around the globe. The band asked their loyal followers to send their own home videos to complete what they called "The Daylight Project".


Frontman Adam Levine , who says that the new track is one of his favorites in the album, is delighted to see the final result of the video project. The fan clips were unique and ranged from wedding footage, on-cam shoutouts to families, friends, and even one girl exclaiming how she loved her dog.

Though the concept was fun in nature, some of the footage were also very heart-breaking as it presented sentiments of people who have lost families and individuals who talked about their regrets and worries in life. The band's song played over and faded down as the different clips showed more people who were willing to talk about their own personal struggles and experiences and the difficulties that we all go through and try to triumph over.

Viewers of "The Voice" are already familiar with the single as the band had played it live this week on the show. It's quite a simple song but the lyrics and the melody will surely make it a song that grows on people over time.

Although a bit of a slow and laid-back song, "Daylight" definitely has the recall and the catchy nine-minute video to help make it into a smash hit. Maroon 5's recent releases include "Payphone" and "One More Night".



'Transformers 4' Finds Its New Young Leads in Brenton Thwaites and Nicola Peltz

"Transformers 4" has already found its new lead actors who will join Mark Wahlberg in action with Optimus Prime and other gigantic autobots. Breaking the news is Twitch, which learns that Brenton Thwaites and Nicola Peltz are the ones chosen to round up the principal cast of the Michael Bay-directed movie.


Peltz, who is best known for her role as Katara in "The Last Airbender", is set to play the daughter of Wahlberg's character. Meanwhile, Australian actor Thwaites, who will next be seen in Angelina Jolie's "Maleficent", is tapped to play Peltz's biker boyfriend.

This freshly-shared casting news seems to confirm previous report suggesting that "T4" will feature two new leads; a young girl and a boy. Back in October, it was said that "the new female lead that they are looking for is a high school senior and her boyfriend a Texas racing driver."

The first three "Transformers" movies were fronted by Shia LaBeouf who played clumsy Sam Witwicky. He was a social outcast who unintentionally bought Bumblebee to impress the hottest girl in his school Mikaela Banes, who was played by Megan Fox in the first two chapters.

Fox was no longer taking the female lead role in "Transformers: Dark of the Moon", and she was replaced by Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. The British model/actress starred as Carly Spencer, an English curator at Dylan Gould's company.

To arrive in the U.S. theaters on June 26, 2014, "Transformers 4" will have Bay returning as the helmer. Though confirming that the film would include a brand new cast ensemble, Bay insisted that it would not be a reboot. "It's not a reboot, that's maybe wrong," he once said to Hero Complex.

Ariel Winter's Mother Sues Actor for Defamation Over 'Abusive Monster' Comment


Chrisoula Workman is fuming at an online commentator who branded her an "abusive monster" on Los Angeles Times under an article about ongoing custody drama of Ariel Winter. She launches a defamation lawsuit against the person identified as Matthew Borlenghi who teaches at a studio run by her older daughter Shanelle Gray.

"This is a total falsehood," the comment attributed to Matthew reads. "The mother is grasping and clawing to find a way not to lose her money-maker, and hide the fact that she is an abusive monster. Having spent time with her, and seeing the way she acted adoringly towards the boy, these accusations are disgusting, just as she is."

Matthew, an actor and CEO of Black Hat Productions, says he hasn't seen the lawsuit and refuses to say whether it's indeed him who posted the comment who is still online as of press time. Regardless, he makes it clear where his alliance lies in the Chris and Shanelle custody battle of Ariel.

"All I can say is that David (Gray) and Shanelle Gray are very close friends of mine and comments that Chris has made are absolutely fabricated," he told The Associated Press. "The negative comments she's made about her own daughter in order to try to get custody back of Ariel are truly disgusting."

The custody drama will be back in court on Wednesday, December 12. In a previous hearing, social workers at Children Services found evidence of emotional abuse towards Ariel. The "Modern Family" actress continues to live with Shanelle after judge extended her temporary guardianship.

Chris vehemently denies report that she abused Ariel. In her defense, she claimed her 14-year-old daughter rebelled after she was banned from seeing her 18-year-old boyfriend. She also accused Shanelle of using Ariel as a stepping stone for her own career as an actress.

Decision on whether Ariel should live permanently with Shanelle, who was allegedly removed in her youth from the care of Chris due to a similar abuse accusation, has yet to be made pending the upcoming trial.

Tom Cruise Looking Forward to Spending Christmas With Suri


Tom Cruise, who spent the last few months away to film his movie projects, is going to come home for Christmas holiday. Like he did last Thanksgiving, he plans to spend the upcoming festive season with his children, Bella, 20, Connor, 17, and Suri, 6. 

"We have got lots of very special things planned [for the holidays]," the father of three said to PEOPLE on the red carpet of his movie "Jack Reacher" in London. He additionally gushed, "We are all going to be together. I am looking forward to it."

The Monday, December 10 event marked Tom's first appearance on the red carpet since his divorce from Katie Holmes earlier this year. He was all smiles as he posed for the swarming photographers in a three-layered top and jeans.

Tom has been staying in London since August to film his other movie "All You Need Is Kill". "I love it here," he commented. "I have made so many films here and I have worked with so many of the actors here. It is a wonderful place to live." 

"I am shooting a film over here ... seven days a week. But I feel great," the 50-year-old star added. "It doesn't take up all my time, but I have a very busy schedule and I like it that way."

Now actors are much smarter, says Madhuri Dixit


Actor Madhuri Dixit, who has come back to Mumbai and Bollywood after more than a decade (she had moved to the US after tying the knot with Dr Sriram Nene, a surgeon, in 1999) says that the Hindi film industry has undergone a sea change since she last worked in it. 
“The industry and its people have become smarter now as compared to our times. Now, for everything, there is a lot of planning involved. In our times, producers would invest money just for the passion of a script but now the commercial viability is of utmost importance. I remember how back then, the shooting of a film would span over years whereas now a film is completed in three months and then goes for post production,” said Madhuri in an interview in Delhi.

And it is just not the making of films, even the way actors position themselves now is different, she feels. “Today, more than ever, it is important for an actor to be heard — to let people know about them and what they are up to. In our times there were just 2-3 magazines but now there is a huge influx of media and as an artist you need a proper professional team to help you handle that and manage your career.” Probably, this explains why the 45-year-old has replaced Rikku Nath, her manager of many years, with a professional company that now manages her career.

Madhuri has signed on two films recently, Dedh Ishqiya and Gulaab Gang. “Both the films have very tight scripts and mature roles and I am looking forward to them. At this point of my life, I can’t run around trees,” she said.
